Hmmm...just when I thought we were ‘all in this together’ there seems to be another outbreak of divisiveness and teacher/union bashing.

It’s all very well for those who have been furloughed or those who never have to leave their ‘home office’ or be in face to face contact with ‘clients’ to suddenly be critical of those who have concerns about their own safety and the safety of their ‘charges’, let us however consider a couple of things.

It is the purpose of Unions to look after the health and well being of their members. They can hardly be criticised when that is what they do.

Perhaps when MP’s show some inclination to return ‘en masse’ to the House of Commons, when pro-footballers are able to train together, when theatres, cinemas and pubs reopen, when people on here have stopped wittering about the dangers of shopping and when Derby’s B&Q store doesn’t have to close because a staff member tested positive for Covid-19, then those who work and have children in our schools will feel more confident about them reopening.
